A critical review of the separation of arsenic oxyanions from dilute aqueous solution (the contribution of LGICT)

This paper presents an overview of research related to the effective removal (by sorption and/or flotation) of arsenates and arsenites from aqueous effluents, as exerted in depth at GICT Laboratory of Chemistry Department in Aristotle University during the last decade. This paper presents, compares and comments the results of more than 20 scientific papers. Equilibrium, thermodynamic and kinetic studies were carried out to determine the sorption capacity of ten materials under various experimental conditions. The highest sorption capacity corresponds to surfactant-modified akaganeite and was found to be 328 mg g

Can you imagine a world in which antibiotics no longer work?
Almost a century after Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928, the era of life-saving, life-enhancing antibiotics may be coming to an end. Antibiotics, able to effectively treat bacterial infections in humans, animals and plants, have enabled some of the greatest advances in modern medicine. Now, however, the emergence of resistant bacterial strains is accelerating, rapidly depleting our arsenal of antibiotics – and with few...

The Airport was built on a former military firing range and apple orchard. To complete the removal of all the lead and arsenic,we excavated and removed over 20,000 tons of treated and non-treated contaminated soil. Then westabilized 11,000 tons of hazardous soil on site. We graded and capped the siteall while complying with FAA, City and Airport Officials. Once the lead and arsenic we completely removed, the area was safe to put in a playground.

Arsenic contamination of shallow hand pump tube well drinking water in Bangladesh has created opportunities for radical innovations to emerge. One such innovation is the household Sono filter, designed to remove arsenic from water supplies. Applying a strategic niche management approach, and based on interviews, focus groups and a workshop, this article explains the Sono filter's failure to establish itself as a successful niche technology. Three explanatory factors are identified: lack of a strong social network...

How to completely remove toxic metals from water is still a serious challenge, and is the mission that faces researchers and scientists today. In this work, zeolite/copper oxide (CuO) and zeolite/iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanocomposites (NCs) were prepared via a co-precipitation method. Several techniques were used for characterization of the prepared NCs including UV-visible, powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption for determining the specific surface areas (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET)) and pore volumes. The morphology...

Standardized bioaccumulation testing of aquatic organisms is essential to understanding the impact of historical contamination on the quality of water and sediment. A standardized 28‐day laboratory bioaccumulation method with a freshwater burrowing mayfly, Hexagenia spp., has been developed and internally validated by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). An interlaboratory comparison was conducted to assess the precision of this method. Field collected sediment contaminated with...
